Why Is Rosalia Famous?

Fans of mainstream culture are by now well acquainted with Rosalía. The young star has made a name for herself both on Billboard Charts and tabloid headlines. Her music is fun and edgy with roots in Flamenco. Her friends are the young and famous Hollywood elite, like Kylie Jenner.

Is Rosalía a gypsy?

Rosalía has been accused of cultural appropriation by some Romani people because she adapts Romani customs into her style, and she draws from the flamenco music tradition, which is often thought to be from Romani people in Andalusia.

How long did Rosalía study flamenco?

She immersed herself in the Catalan flamenco scene and found a teacher—El Chiqui, a local fixture—with whom she would study for the next eight years.
